Adapt what you say, do, and show
Set positivity in motion
Effectief communiceren, elke dag: het kan
Talking comes naturally to some people, while others prove to be good listeners. And yet, having engaged, effective interactions takes effort. Practicing PCM — short for Process Communication Model® — teaches us how to adapt what we say, do, and show to make the most of every conversation and situation. Along the way, we learn how to leverage our differences to make a difference at work, at home, and in the world.
A not-so-secret decoder
This is how it works
PCM is the premier tool for decoding human interactions. Practicing PCM teaches us how to observe our behaviors, which in turn lets us identify the communication strengths and preferences of ourselves and others. This understanding is based on differentiating six personality types that we all have within us: Thinker, Persister, Rebel, Promoter, Harmonizer, and Imaginer. A unique combination of the six types takes center stage in everyone. You can practice PCM in four steps.
Understanding your preferences means knowing what you need to be in a good place and how to fulfill those needs. In doing so, you can manage your stress and take care of yourself.
Observing other people’s recognizable behavior reveals their preferences and the best way to approach them.
Based on what you observe, you will know what to do, say, and show in response so that you can make a genuine connection that works for you both.
Enjoy the benefits of positive daily interactions at work, in meetings, video calls, presentations, social situations — and at home, too.
